Love this! Hopefully it happens quickly and successfully! If you want to get downtown Portland hopping 24/7 then get people living there. I hope they're allowing the floor level to stay as businesses. I think the smartest thing to do would be to convert the units that can't be filled with businesses or that they are having trouble filling and hopefully that will help bring traffic to the businesses that are still there, while solving a problem of limited square footage for housing.
Two Central City Portland office buildings set to be converted to housing units The first project will convert the Oregon Casket Building at 403 N.W. Fifth Ave. into a 34-housing-unit structure. The 25,000-square-foot building will also feature two live-work units on the ground floor, with one unit reserved for retail, according to PortlandMaps. While no building permits for the project have been filed, the project received $7 million from Prosper Portland via a Commercial Property Loan, according to city spokesperson Elliott Kozuch. The second project, at the Falcon Building at 321 N.W. Glisan St. will turn an 85,500-square-foot building into a 59-unit, middle-income residential apartment building. The project also received a $4.35 million construction loan from Prosper Portland last August. Neither developer could immediately be reached for comment. Read More
